So, ironed, measured 3 times (and then began diving into my
stash)
I came up with this lovely panel I had purchased years ago....
for the back center
Ironed that and then went back into my stash.........
perfect for bordering the sides of Milady....
tore that (I like to tear large pieces not cut with rotary--i feel it's
straighter...)and ironed those pieces ....
and I had just enough to sew on either side...
THEN:
I sewed them on...ouchey--my shoulders and back
let me know enough already for today...of hauling big pieces of fabric
around....
BUT I at least chose the top/bottom borders, cut this time and..
IRONED (sigh) and then sewed them together...to make the right width
Tomorrow I will sew those borders on and then the back will be ready for
layering...
I ordered batting from Connecting Threads
[on sale $16.99 per Queen size lightweight battings]--
I purchased two.....and as soon as it comes in I
will layer this one and pin baste and decide whether
to tie, or machine quilt or do a bit of both....
AND,
VOILA!!
all of a sudden, I am a lot happier with this
Dancing Postage Stamp quilt..
This will make a generous lap quilt.

I also did two loads of laundry (with folding) and made these lovlies
for the upcoming weekend noshing....

Two fronts for that postage stamp quilt. Love your stash! It is soooo interesting.
ReplyDeleteLots getting done at your house. Cookies look delish. Of course, you can have one. The baker always gets to have one.
Hugs
Very beautiful. That panel is lovely and perfect.
ReplyDeletelizzy
are those sugar free?
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, making the backing for your quilt, and yes, you were right to stop when your back got sore. Baking too, they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love a pieced backing. I enjoyed your "diving and surfacing" analogy for searching the stash. Fun!
ReplyDeletehaha! I'm the same, faced with lots of little pieces of furniture, no way. Lots of little pieces of fabric, now that's a different ballgame. I sure like the back of that quilt, what pretty fabrics. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteYou need to taste test those cookies before I get one, right? Love the back you are piecing. This will be a gorgeous reversible quilt.so THATS why you made the cookies. To stop the cursing lol. Pfftt...mumble mumble mmmmm.....as you put one in his mouth ha ha
